Being Heumann (15)

They wouldn’t take Judy Heumann’s phone calls, so she took their building.

In 1977, a young disabled woman and a scrappy coalition of outsiders decide they’ve had enough. What begins as one impulsive act becomes the longest occupation of a federal building in American history, as hundreds spontaneously seize government offices and refuse to leave until the bureaucrat in their way takes action.

Bringing rebellion in all its forms to the hallowed halls, a movement’s accidental leaders struggle to find their path forward where none has ever been paved for them.

Directed by Academy Award winner Siân Heder (CODA), starring Bolton's own Ruth Madeley, and based on true events, Being Heumann is the revolutionary, irreverent and deeply human story of the least likely people trying to pull off the impossible and change the lives of millions. 

All screenings of Being Heumann are Caption Subtitled and Audio Description is available.
